If they banned ecigs, would you stockpile? - Page 11 - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

I can see why the fda wants to ban since what is stopping someone from over dosing on the liquid form? i mean i can smoke till my lungs bleed(analogs) but i doubt you would od from it,it would make you sick before you could od on it.with the liquid form you could just gulp down a bottle and die so i see there reasoning....now what that means for us is the liquid would no longer be available but they would just have to make premade cartridges with all the flavors and variety that we like the problem with that though is those little cartridges are freakin expensive..

so 1 we wouldnt have enough to od on thus being regulated and controlled
2 they would tax it of course so they make money.
3 little cartridges dont last very long and we would have to buy in bulk think of cartons of cartridges? lol?

I'm already stockpiling. I have a year's worth and I'm getting more.

This entire post is coming from a misinformed place IMO. You need to read up on it a little more before making statements like that.

How so? you cant tell me that some kid drinking a bottle of e-liquid wouldnt have some serious effects ( not trying to start trouble just trying to understand your reasoning)even right now we have no idea how much nic we are taking with this stuff since there are too many factors that come into play, and i think this is the main concern with the fda imo.

relatively speaking, why would a kid drink a bottle of nic? he is more likely to drink a bottle of rubbing alcohol thinking that it would be similar to an alcoholic drink.

Couldn't a child also eat a pack of analogs and kill themselves that way? Vaping yourself to death is like alcohol poisoning, it can be done but it's very hard to do.

If the FDA was really worried about the poisonous things little Johnny might eat or drink then ban fluoride too.

The issue is not about having a poisonous substance around that could kill your child or someone else. Everyone has poisonous substances in their homes that could do that. Ever hear of a kid drinking Lysol? That's why they have the poison line. Keep poisonous substances, including e liquid and Lysol where your kid can't get to them.

the fda isnt the most logical thinking organization i just believe this would be the basis for there argument that and they arent making any money on it.

aidenunder · 06-20-2009, 08:21 PM

why would they even bother banning these if real ciggs are so much more dangerous for you this is rediculous even thinking about but yea i would stockpile on atomizers and ejuice and alot of carteridges

xaxphaanes · 06-21-2009, 06:14 AM

Oh dont get me wrong i would prolly stock up like mad but they really want to ban it since they arent making any money on it.and once they do start making money on it (if) then it would probably be overpriced to all hell and allot of people would just go back to analogs or quit.
